So Blonde: Steve Ince nominated for Writers' Guild Awards

Shortly before the release of So
Blonde, Steve Ince has been nominated for the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain
2008 Awards. His script for the PC Adventure game So Blonde was shortlisted in
the category “Best videogame script”. So Blonde will hit the shelves of UK
stores on Friday 26th September.

“The Writers’ Guild Awards are among
the most notable awards in Britain. I’m very happy and honoured that my script
has been considered,” says Steve Ince who created So Blonde’s story, its
dialogues as well as the game design. The Writer-Designer has fifteen years of
game development experience. The Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Awards will be
held on Sunday 23rd November 2008 in London.

So Blonde is a funny and colourful
Point & Click Adventure game, featuring a very special heroine: Sunny Blonde.
She is young, she is pretty and she has really rich parents – Sunny Blonde
doesn’t have to worry about her life. The seventeen year old beauty should be on
a luxury cruise over the Atlantic Ocean with her parents, but near the Bermuda
islands the ship gets distressed at sea. Sunny blacks out and finds herself in a
rescue boat.

When she wakes up, Sunny is lying
under palms on a gorgeous sandy beach. Still a little bit dazed Sunny sees no
other passengers from her ship – it seems that she’s completely alone, cast away
on an island. But much more annoying for Sunny is the fact that she has to
abandon of all her high-price merchandise: her cell phone has no reception, her
makeup is awful and the next shopping mall is nowhere in sight. But that’s not
enough. Unfortunate circumstances have brought Sunny back in time to the age of
buccaneers and pirates…

So Sunny Blonde is in real trouble –
and the gamer of the loony adventure, So Blonde, is called upon to get her out
of this trouble. Steve Ince (noted for his work on the “Broken Sword” series) is
responsible for this exceptional story. So Blonde, developed by Wizarbox from
France, has a real off-the-wall story, a beautiful (anti)hero, black humor
beyond all stereotypes, smashing cartoon graphics and some real surprises in the
gameplay.
